Sammy struggled in school, had dyslexia, and was tormented. Sammy Was enlisted in the US army in 1964 and stationed in Fort Jackson, South Carolina. He gained much of his experience as a mass hall cook and eventually reached the rank of corporal before receiving an honorable discharge after two years.
Sammy subsequently ended up working for the Gambino Family and became a close friend of John Gotti after later getting involved in organized crime.
